NYG Day 3 Preview

Again, I will get more in to the Giants review over the next few days. They've done a nice job so far and I still think the theme is going to be surrounded on guys that will help this team in 2016 for at least the 4th round pick. Who is still out there that I think NYG is looking at?

Many were thinking NYG was going to go offensive line in round 3. I didn't see it. The guys that are available now are most likely backup-caliber. This team like what they have at RG between Jerry and the future of Bobby Hart. So even though there are some names I like there, I think they only look at RT today. Two guys I like are Parker Ehinger - Cincinnati and Halapoulivaati Vaitai - TCU . They are both big guys that played left tackle in college, likely making a move to RT in the NFL. Ehinger is more pro ready, but Vaitai has more upside. If you are looking at developmental left tackles for later in the day, Alex Lewis - Nebraska, Joe Haeg - North Dakota State, and Tyler Johnstone - Oregon. I also think NYG is one of the teams that thinks Brandon Shell - South Carolina can be a starter early in his career.

There are a few guards I personally like a ton. Connor McGovern - Missouri is at the top of that list and I think he is an ideal fit for any rendition of a zone blocking scheme. Joe Dahl - Washington State and Spencer Drango are guys that will need time to adjust to the NFL eay of blocking but the former OTs project really well inside.

As expected, we enter day three with a ton of talent available at RB. There are a few guys there that personally, I would gladly take over any of the current NYG running backs. But also as expected, I think NYG passes on them. They are going in to 2016 with what they have. But man, it's hard to pass on Kenneth Dixon - Louisiana Tech and Paul Perkins - UCLA round after round.

Tight end? The only guy I am really looking at is the kid I helped get in to the East/West Shrine Game, David Morgan - UTSA. Really strong and powerful. Really quick and competitive. He would be an awesome number three TE to have here.

I don't think NYG is done adding to their defense. As a matter of fact I think they are leaning in that direction with their 4th rounder. I think they want to add another body at both DT and DE, perhaps more urgency at DT. Andrew Billings - Baylor is there but they may not see a guy that will make enough plays and/or pass rush impact. I don't think they will look there. If they want someone for their nickel and dime packages, I think Matt Ioannidis - Temple, Connor Wujciak - Boston College, Hassan Ridgeway - Texas, and WIllie Henry - Michigan are on their short list.

If this team is looking for another outside pass rusher for depth purposes, look for them to have high grades on Matt Judon - Grand Valley State, Charles Tapper - Oklahoma, Romeo Okwara - Notre Dame, all guys with the tools they look for. Personally I am still very intrigued by the upside of Stephen Weatherly - Vanderbilt.

Now we come to the spot where I am almost sure NYG will be looking with one their 3 picks today, LB. It's been the Jerry Reese way to try and piece together that second level with middle tier FAs and late draft picks. There is a name that sits atop my board right now...that would be the ideal fit for their weak side LB. BJ Goodson - Clemson. I called him a 100+ tackle guy year in, year out a few months ago and I still feel that way. I'm not as confident he can thrive in the MIKE role, but on the weak side where he has some more open space to deal with, I think he can be a big time presence right away. NYG needs to get this kid on their team and I bet they can't keep him out of the starting lineup by mid-season.

Josh Perry - Ohio State is a solid inside presence that would essentially give them another Keenan Robinson. Tyler Matakevich - Temple and Kentrell Brothers - Missouri are less than ideal athletes but have a nose for the ball. They could be solid backups with big time special teams ability. If this team wants an athlete to develop, look for them to give De'Vondre Campbell - Minnesota a long look. Blake Martinez - Stanford gives them the kind of tools they look for as well.

Lastly, I think there is still a small chance they add another WR. There are some high upside guys available and NYG has to know they are playing with fire there, especially if Cruz can't bounce back. How about the big and fast Charone Peake - Clemson, whom I love. A few guys that you could draft with a developmental approach, Ricardo Louis - Auburn, Kolby Listenbee - TCU, Cayleb Jones - Arizona, Marquez North - Tennessee, Demarcus Robinson - Florida, and Rahard Higgins - Colorado State are names I think they will like.

One more name that keeps jumping out at me is Devon Cajuste - Stanford. He had a faster 3 cone than anyone in this entire class. He is 6'4/235 with monster hands and long arms. He runs good routes and he plays hard. If this team wants a new guy that presents matchup problems kind of the way Aaron Hernandez did for Stanford...this could be a smart risk to take.

My prediction for Day 3:

4 - BJ Goodson - LB/Clemson
5 - Brandon Shell - OT/South Carolina
6 - Willie Henry - DT/Michigan
